Marco Pierre White kicked off the new series of Hell’s Kitchen last night with the claim that “he didn’t make Gordon Ramsay cry, Ramsay chose to cry”.

The celebrated chef and restaurateur then got down to the real business of the day by terrorising his line up of 10 celebrities and his customers alike, relishing in throwing out those guests with the gall to complain about his grub pretty much on their ears.

Despite a busy schedule, Marco Pierre White who is Caterer and Hotelkeeper’s guest editor this week (6 September) took time out from filming the new series earlier this week to answer our questions, so check out the exclusive interview below and pick up this week’s issue of Caterer for more on Hell’s Kitchen and Marco’s take on the state of today’s hospitality industry.
